               Application 07/913,121                                                                                                







                       (F)     detecting and/or quantitating a label in a labeled cDNA complex, wherein                              
               said label is introduced into said complex from labeled oligonucleotide primer, labeled                               
               oligonucleotide probe or a labeled third oligonucleotide when the primer is unmodified,                               
               and further wherein the amount of label is a measure of the resistance of the reverse                                 
               transcriptase to the drug or drugs evaluated at the concentration  tested.
